Total 2393 - so I need to spend 7 points - any suggestions welcome!

Sorry to mention it, but you cant have two charmed shields. You’ll need to change one of them to an enchanted shield

Well spotted! I meant to put an enchanted shield on my sorcer-prophet.
Time of Madness:
This is about as solid of a list I’ve seen on this site (other then the ones I’ve created haha).
Only change I would make is dropping the great weapon on the castellan. Pick up a shield instead giving him a 2+ save and a 4+ ward save. You want to keep this guy around as long as possible. I’d also drop the iconcurse icon to now leave you with 15 pts left over.
With the extra 15 pts give the level 1 smith the opal amulet for the first wound suffered. I find people try to focus in on him as he really makes the magma cannons effective. That brings him up to 115pts with the charmed shield/amulet combo. Also brings your list up to exactly 2400pts.
Hope this helps.

Or the luckstone for 5pts on the daemonsmith is a good buy and cheap.

Thanks for the advice chaps, I think i’ll go with ToM’s idea. Keeping the evil stunties alive as long as possible is always good.

Kaadi are not worth their points in tournaments you are basically giving loads of points away . If the enemy dont kill them they will do it them selfs.
Goltor Lintrepide:
I would give the k’daai a try anyway. It’s the only real punch the army has.
mistrmoon:
I find they are worth it in units of at least 6. Also I would keep the IC Icon. The thing is fantastic for 5 points as any template warmachines of any kind are likely headed towards your Infernal guard.

I did used to run bull centaurs instead of fireborn but they didn’t really do it for me. The only time fireborn have done poorly for me was against dragon princes and a prince on a dragon with dragon armour, which charged the fireborn at the same time. You can imagine how little damage I did…
